Cinderscar Ogre

Teen 13+
Cinderscar ogres are what happens when an ogre is also a furnace. Huge, ash-grey and seamed with glowing cracks, they carry their own weather: warm air, a faint smell of brimstone, and puddles that steam where they stand. They are cheerful about being dangerous, which tends to make people less comfortable, not more.

They are as blunt and strong as any ogre, with a temper that climbs from warm to blazing in a breath, and they hold their clan, their hearth heap and their spicy meat very dear. They like heat, hot springs and loud company. They dislike deep water, and anyone who needs to bargain with one learns quickly to do it dry.

Warm to the touch, hot to the temper.
